Answer to Question 1

D
This state is different with every person. Grief is the set of emotional reactions that accompany a loss. Anxiety is a vague, uneasy feeling that is not specifically related to a loss. Mourning is the process of working through or resolving one's grief.

Answer to Question 2

D
Involuntary commitment protects patients who are dangerous to themselves or others and cannot care for their own basic needs. Involuntary commitment also protects other individuals in society. The behaviors described in the other options are not sufficient to require involuntary hospitalization.
